A crowdfunding group in Denmark has proposed that their country acquire the US state of California for $1 trillion and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries. The satirical idea of purchasing the territory comes after US President Donald Trump reiterated his interest in buying Greenland.
In response to Trump’s continued interest in the island, the ‘Denmarkification’ group has outlined its own proposal to the US president, offering to take California off his hands and throw in a lifetime supply of Danish pastries to “sweeten the deal.” The group pointed out that Trump has already described the state as “the most ruined” in the US.
The proposal is presented as a crowdfunded effort, with the group estimating that each Danish citizen would only need to “skip a few lattes” and contribute approximately 200,000 kroner ($27,675). The group humorously suggested that the acquisition would bring Danish cultural values, including “hygge” (comfort), bike lanes and Smorrebrod sandwiches to California. The group also said it plans to rename Disneyland to Hans Christian Andersenland, writing “Mickey Mouse in a Viking helmet? Yes please.”
